coooANuT-GRATER.'

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,598, dated January 4, 1887.

Application med october 2, 1886.

To all whom, 4it may concern:

Be it known that I, Osokn DoMALsKI, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Cocoanut-Grater, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is toprovide a new and improved cocoanutgrater which is simple in construction and effective in operation. l

The invention relates to certain improvements in that class of vegetable-graters in which is employed a rotary disk having a perforated grating-surface andV mounted 'to rotate horizontally, a hopper placed above the said disk, a plunger sliding'in the said hopper, and means for rotating the said disk.

The invention consists of various paris and details and combinations of the,same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out inthe claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specilication, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in bothr the figures.

Figure l is a plan view of my improvement, and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same on the line a: x of Fig. l.

The disk A, having a perforated gratingsurface, is secured to the wheel B, having a bearing with its ring on the ange C of the ring l), to which is secured the half-cylindrical hopper E, in which slides a plunger, F, provided with the handle G. The wheel B turns loosely on a shaft, H, projecting downward and secured to the hopper E. In the center of the wheel B is secured the beveled pinion I, meshing into the beveled gear-wheel J, mounted on a stud secured to the hopper E. A handle, K, is attached to the face of the said wheel J.

Clamps L, attached to and projecting from Serial No; 215,151. (No model.)

the hopper E, serve to fasten the entire machine to a table or board by means of screws M, or other devices.

The operation is as follows: The machine is secured to a table or board, as above described, and the plunger F is removed, so as to permit of lling the hopper with the nuts to be grated. The plunger F is again inserted, and the operator then turns the handle K of thewheel J, which causes the latter to impart a revolving motion to the pinion I, its wheel B, and the disk A. rI`he plunger F presses the nuts which are held in the hopper E against the gratingsurfaceof the revolving disk A, whereby the nuts are grated, and the grated substance drops through the apertures in the disk A into a con*-V venient vessel or upon a plate located beneaththe machine. f

The operator can increase or diminish the pressure ot' the plunger F upon the nuts by 4taking hold ofthe handle G and pressingthe lunoer downward. I) e Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is"

The combination, with the hopperhaving a pivot projecting downward from its lower open end and forming the axis of the graterdisk, and the separate inward-flanged ring se cured on the lower end of the hopper concentric with the said pivot, of the grater-disk within the ring and upon its ange, the bevelgear upon the center of the upper surface of e 7 5 the grater-disk and having a vertical aperture receiving the said pivot on which it revolves, and the bevel driving-gear journaled on the hopper and operating the bevel-gear on the grater-disk, substantially as set forth.

OSCAR DOltIALSKI.
